Dave Pickford and Ian Parnell are set to take over as Editors of CLIMB Magazine.
"The October issue of CLIMB magazine – the first issue edited by the new team - will see a number of significant changes to the title's design and content."
In reply to UKC News:
"Pickford is an extremely talented writer and rock climber, climbing magazine front covers have featured his stunning images almost as often as his stunning body!"
